On the Beginning SEO Podcast, Dave Brown, Brian Mark and I talk with Robert Garcia (Rumblepup) about topics and concepts covered at the recent SES Latino that was held in Miami on June 18 and 19. I was there liveblogging for Search Engine Roundtable, so we talked a little bit about the conference itself, and then went a little more in-depth into some topics like providing Spanish language coverage in your call center, do you really need to translate your entire site into Spanish to start targeting Spanish keywords in your PPC campaigns, and is there a “Midwest” equivalent dialect in Spanish?
Dave Brown (Neo) also mentions that we’ll have our first live broadcast of “Beginning SEO” on WebmasterRadio.fm on Thursday, July 19th (1pm Eastern, Noon Central, 10am Pacific)… so hop into the chatroom and/or tune in for the live show!

While it’s a little late, the Beginning SEO Podcast did not want to be left out of the spate of “SMX Wrap-Ups” so… here it is. Since Brian and NeO didn’t go, it’s pretty much them asking me questions about the conference and of course I blather on and on about it because… well… I like the sound of my own voice. (Just kidding. I actually can’t listen to myself on recordings for some reason. What I hear when I listen to recordings of myself doesn’t sound like what I think I sound like, if that makes any sense. It’s weird. That being said, though, I am a chatterbox… but anyway, I digress…)

Brent Csutoras, Lisa Barone, Carolyn Shelby at MSN Party at SMX Advanced 2007
In the interest of keeping the topic focused on issues relevant to beginners, we discuss the tone and subject matter of SMX Advanced, and at what point in your learning curve you should consider attending. If you’re not to the point where you think you could hang with the big dogs of search, we also recommend some alternative conferences where you can catch more basic sessions and get up to speed.
